THINK BIG by Ben Carson pg 111-170

Summary:
Now, that Ben is out of college he really has to find his way, to becoming a good doctor, and first he becomes a intern at a local hispotal. This were he beginnings, at this place Ben has to help the doctors with the surgury's they have to perform, by passing them the tools. He has to pay close attention so he doesnt pass the wrong tool to the surgery, so he wouldnt mess up the body. When he is in that type of situation, his goal is to stay as relaxed, and ready for anything that is about to come his way. That is how he first started off, but sooner or later Ben would go to John hopkins and perform surgery's over there. He had two twins connected, and his job was to seperate them which he did, but it was very diffucilt and it took up alot of time.During the surgery many people didnt think it could be done, but it was, and it came down to the wire, were there was a life or death situation for the twin, he had 6 seconds left , and he finished. After the surgery he was looked at like a "hero.
Quote:
"Sometimes givng our best and Thinking Big involves risk" (Carson 127)
Reaction:
When i read this quote I was thinking, that i heard somthing like that before, and so i kept thinking about where I heard it from. I found out, it was my mother who told me a quote very similiar. So, i think that is a great quote to tell kids or anybody, because the only way you might get somewhere is if you take a risk, and you dont take a risk you will never know what could of happened.
